So today was my baby shower. Not sure if I was more excited that my shower was finally here or that I got to leave the house for the first time in 2 days. I journeyed back to the doctor Thursday and my blood pressure was still too high so I got put on bed rest. And so that bed rest could be super fun, the Gods of comedy thought I should either get a sinus infection or head cold, so I've done nothing but cough (which makes me tinkle), sneeze (which makes me tinkle) and attempt to sleep since Thursday. I say attempt because while I've been trying to get comfortable enough to sleep for more than an hour, the kid has been in there raising nine kinds of hell, kicking and dancing around or whatever the hell it is that he does in there. So between the disco that has become my uterus and my phone blowing up from work, I've managed to sleep for about a minute and a half since Thursday. And then my sister rolled into town.

So there I am, I haven't left my house, I can't sleep, I'm sick, I'm annoyed because I've gotten 15 texts and 9 calls from work, and in a more pissy mood I could not be, and the first thing my sister says to me is "holy shit, you've gotten way fat since Christmas". Yes, it's always nice to see her too.

But anyhoo, my shower was so much fun! I got to see people I rarely get to see, the food was amazing, I got a ton of presents and we didn't have to play any stupid baby games. Although we did do this one artsy-craftsy thing where everybody got a onesie and decorated it with markers & sequins & glitter for the kid. Yeah, I love you people but my kid ain't gonna be wearing sequined, glittered onesies. Thanks though.

And now it's back to house arrest at least until Monday. I'm thinking about renting some space in my OB's lobby to save myself some time. Five weeks to go and I am so ready to get this devil spawn out of me. I kid about the devil spawn thing. (Well, kind of. You have met his father, right?) Anyhoo, if I can ever escape this cold/sinus-y fog, I'll attempt to once again be witty. Until then, enjoy a few pics from the shower.
